How to Make Always Delicious Chicken Cheese Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the chicken over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Stir in the enchilada sauce, diced onions, and green chilies. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, 1 cup of the enchilada sauce, Monterey Jack cheese, and cheddar cheese.
  5. Fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of the chicken mixture. Roll up tightly and place seam-down in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  7. Sprinkle the top with the remaining Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
  9. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sour cream, if desired.
